Answer to Question 2

The current account includes records of trade of goods and services, investment income, and unilateral transfers. The purchase of American machinery by a foreign firm is recorded here. The capital account records changes in the ownership of real and financial assets. The sale of IBM stock to a foreign investor is recorded here. The official reserve account records changes in currency holdings of the central bank. If the United States reduces its currency holdings by supplying foreign currency to the foreign exchange market, this transaction is recorded in the official reserve account.
